Week Links is a collection of some of my favourite links from around the web that I stumbled upon during the past week. You may already be familiar with some of them, but I think they’re worth checking out if you haven’t already.
This video pretty much speaks for itself. The creator has spliced together clips of Romney and Obama, set it to the music of Eminem’s “The Real Slim Shady”, and the result is fairly hilarious.
Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome
Earlier this week a trailer for SyFy’s proposed Battlestar Galactica prequel series was leaked online, which you can find by following the link. On Thursday, however, Syfy announced that it didn’t plan to take the show to series, instead merely airing the pilot as a movie and possibly developing the series for the web. The web scenario seems unlikely, given the high costs of this type of show, so this trailer may be all we ever see of Blood and Chrome.
The trailer for this film was finally released, and it looks great. There has been much speculation over whether this is indeed a prequel to Alien or not, with Scott originally saying it would be, but later changing his story. The design aesthetic and creatures on display certainly seem in line with the prequel idea. The current story floating around is that, since the Alien never actually shows up in the film, Fox is reticent to market it as a prequel, so as not to upset viewers expecting to see the famous monster, but that it does, in fact lead into the events of the classic film.
Sleep well,
